GLEN MILLS, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In celebration of Take Your Child to Work Day on April 28, Axalta
Coating Systems, a leading global supplier of liquid and powder
coatings, hosted employees and their children for a day of community
engagement, learning and fun at the company’s North American
headquarters.

The festivities began at 8:30 a.m. with a welcome from executives.
Participants and children then broke out the toolboxes and participated
in a GoBabyGo! workshop, an activity designed to teach the children
about Axalta’s dedication to giving back to those in need. GoBabyGo! is
a nonprofit organization that modifies motorized toy cars to be used by
special needs toddlers who have difficulty walking or crawling.
Employees and their children received the story of a specific toddler
and the custom plans for his or her car. After completing the car, they
met the toddlers who had a chance to test drive the cars, before final
adjustments were made.

“At Axalta, we see Take Your Child to Work Day as an opportunity to
introduce the children of team members to our company, including
exposing them to one of our central principles—giving back to those in
need,” said Mike Carr, Axalta President of North America. “GoBabyGo!
provided a way for us to teach kids about the importance of community
engagement while creating a fun, memorable experience. And improving the
mobility of special needs toddlers is truly a worthy cause.”

“GoBabyGo!'s mission is to get kids with disabilities mobile,” said John
Koshy, Director, GoBabyGo!. “We do this by creating custom ride-on cars
for young children who otherwise may not be able to move.”

The day wrapped up with several presentations by Axalta team members.
